Mega Marv


I received the seeds from the MMMM so thanks to who ever gave it away. This is my favorite beefsteak I ever grew so far, along side with Green Giant. Very big regular leaf plant that will need big trellis. Seems to have decent resistance. The plant likes a lot of water, despite that aside from catfacing the skin generally doesn't crack. The flavor and texture are superb. Very meaty, juicy and tender, very little seeds. It's more meaty, not runny, and not gel-like. Good balance of sweetness and some acid.

I think it is a mistake to only grow it for competition, this is an amazing eating tomato that is very productive. I limit one or two blossoms per trusses, most fruits are between 1 to 2 pounds.
